Snowdevil6 (1), , does not count - explanation | | May 23, 2012 Amazing place amazing gueze selection, 5 minute walk from the city center and so damn worth it. | | AMcD (10), , | | May 2, 2012 Good little bar for the evenings but limited seating. Wide choice of gueze and decent music. | | Forsberg_dk (15), , Denmark | | April 17, 2012 A decent place with a fair selection and some fairly hard to get beers, albeit pretty expensive. Service is very knowledgeable, but could be friendlier. Worth a visist but not a must see imo. | | BlackHaddock (175), , England | | April 3, 2012 This bar is worth the walk out from the centre, plus it is only two doors away from the excellent Bierboom shop/bar. I wrote this in 2009 and have re-visited since doing so, please read on!
The music was great, a bit loud for the size of the place, however if Brian Ferry and 10cc rock your boat, then get yourself down here.
At the moment there is only a front bar and a room containing large fridges with glass fronted doors to one side. The idea is, you go in, say hello and walk on through to the right of the bar, down the corridor and choose your bottle from the fridges (there are other uncooled beers down this room/corridor too). At least that is what we did, not really sure you can do that on a busy night? You then take it back and it is poured into a glass for you. On tap they had both Zott biers, a pilsner and a kriek (I think), the bottled selection changes with the seasons and the owners whim.
I didn’t see or ask for a beer menu, we just got taken to the fridges by the owner.
Talking of the owner (Peter), he is only opening at 17.00 at the moment because he is working on the place during the day and doesn’t want dust getting into anyones beer.
He has obtained some land next door and is opening a terrace and a larger back bar, hopefully in September 2009, the floor is done, and the actual bar is also in position. I also got taken upstairs where Peter explained how he was going to have another bar above the rear one and a lot more fidges. At the moment he has around 400 beers, but can’t cool them all, so only has about 180 on offer at any one time. The master plan is to have 1,000 cooled beers to chose from, that will be sometime in 2010.
I shall be checking the progress with interest and am certainly looking forward to seeing the finished product and drinking some interesting beers from the mega list.
The bar has been re-branded and although it is all change it is still a great bar.
| | jfb (45), , Germany | | March 19, 2012 Probably walked past this place 30 times before I ever saw the lights turned on. Long bar, quite cosy, but not many tables to sit at. Had a special Struise beer menu in addition to the regular selection. Prices are ok and the waitress was very friendly. Closed on Tuesdays and apparently sometimes also Mondays. | | mike1977ok (26), , Netherlands | | February 6, 2012 No smoking here anymore which on one hand is nice but the alternative is the occasional waft of sweat and farts!
Good selection although it’s more geared up for Lambic style beers. Nice easy rock and 80’s music and a TV showing various beers being poured and savoured. | | Fin (243), Merton, Oxfordshire, England, England | | November 15, 2011 Have been here a couple of times most recently Sunday 13th November 2011. I have noticed that the beer menu is steadily increasing and would sit at 180+ regulalrly and worth asking if there is anything new not in the menu. Unlike Cambrinus, this place has a great jukebox and whilst supping my Noorder Bierke I listened to Fischer Z, The Levellers, along with some great obscure new wave and indie stuff from the early eighties. Nice barman, pleasant surroundings, good choice of Struise beers for those interested. | | minist (10), , England | | August 16, 2011 Great little bar, and has got a lot better since my first visit in 2008. The selection seemed geared towards quality rather than quantity, although it is still an extensive list! Shared an Oak-Aged La Trappe, and a Tseejes Reserva with my girlfriend. | | nate2g (320), Marlborough, New Zealand | | March 22, 2011 Overlooked by many who visit Brugge but this bar has a great selection of bottled beers available. A few beers I had not seen elsewhere and also a few Struise beers is a big plus. Nice ambiance and retro fit out. Friendly and knowledgeable guy. | | FatPhil (222), Tallinn, Estonia | | January 7, 2011 Almost a perfect beer bar, but with one huge drawback - the smoke. Ambiance and overall would have a decent boost were the smoke to disappear. Selection is wonderful, lots of beers from brewers that I like, and some from breweries I’ve not even heard of (and I’ve had over 600 Belgian beers, I’m no newb). Place has character, and is full of characters. The barman, who I presume is the owner, is chatty, and knows his beers. Worth several visits. |
